Just noticed my songs are starting a few seconds late...like the beginning is getting cut off. Any ideas?

SU 1.3.3 running at FLAC only, IRR bandwidth on, CPU at 312.
Gapless off, Digital Filter off

Try gapless on?

 

[desertstrike]

is there a list of custom roms somewhere on this thread?

gapless doesn`t work anyway in FLAC-only mode.

First time updating the firmware, previously the old owner installed 1.5.0 on it, and now I wanna try the 1.3.3. Follow the steps according to user manual? It says factory reset and the firmware version still shows 1.5.0 after in insalled the "stable" firmware of the 1.3.3. I did something wrong?

If i'm not mistaken, 1.3.3 is based on original 1.5.0
 
Easy way to check is to power off, turn the lock button on, then power on.  If you're on 1.3.3, you should get the "hidden menu" screen. To boot back from that hidden menu screen, just turn off the lock button again from that screen.
 
EDIT: Hidden menu should look like this

Yup, the hidden menu is there. I think I did it right then. Thanks for the confirmation. The few minutes of listening definitely showed that this FW is much more musical.
 
The DX50 give the hiss which is quite annoying and for a prolonged listening period on the SE535LTD, it gave me a small headache which can really cuts me off from listening it that often. Maybe the 535 is just too sensitive, need a portable amp for this or is it just my unit is not so good..haha

Yes, unfortunately, the DX50 can hiss with some sensitive headphones.  I have the same problem using fitear 334s.

I did not know that.

Try using the line out jack (next to the headphone jack).  Less gain, so less hiss but higher volume setting.  Works for me.

It is not recommended to run your HP's from the line out. I forget exactly why, but its been discussed in this thread before and the consensus was you should not do this.

If you have hiss in high sensitivity phones, you need an amp or less sensitive headphones. Running headphones from the line out is not a recommended solution. Maybe someone else can explain exactly why.

I've tried with something cheap like the Earpod and piston, the sound is highly distorted, lots of weird noise and I plugged it off immediately. Not sure why mind didn't work.

I've read somewhere in the forum that earphones/headphones can't be used directly from the line out just like what you said and I'm not sure about the reason too. :|
I think my 535 will stay and I'll be looking for an amp for it. Interested on the shadow but it's kinda pricey..

I think that you must of being trying the coaxial out jack, which is located that the top of the DX50.  The line out simply bypasses the headphone opamps.  It should not sound distorted since it would be the line feed to an external amp, which would then have distortion.  I have been using mine that way for over 2 months and have not experienced any distortion.  There is a DX50 mod tread that encouraged me to try it since it is only bypassing the headphone amplification.  Like all things suggested, YMMV.

The LO has high output impedance and can only supply up to 1.5Vrms.

Especially for low impedance headphones, LO will affect the Frequency Response of your phone. (e.g Bass too thin)

You may like how it sounds but it's not how the headphones are designed to sound like when plugged in to LO. it was meant to be connected to an external amp.

As you noted in you message, I like the way it sounds.
